MPA, Bureau Veritas extend MoU on maritime innovation and talent development

As part of the renewed MoU, they plan to explore setting up a BV innovation hub in Singapore.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Bureau Veritas (BV) have renewed their memorandum of understanding (MoU) to deepen their partnership in maritime digitalisation, decarbonisation, and talent development.

As part of the renewed MoU, MPA and BV will explore the establishment of a BV global innovation hub in Singapore.

The hub will focus on research and application of emerging technologies with multi-industry impact, including cybersecurity standards and guidelines, and the design and integration of new battery technologies and fuel cell systems.

Both parties will also work together on innovative digital and decarbonisation solutions. These include smart ship systems, AI technologies to enhance vessel inspection, and the use of robotics for in-water applications.

Additionally, MPA and BV will promote the adoption of zero- and near-zero GHG emission fuels, electrification, and wind-assisted propulsion.

To support maritime workforce development, BV will continue its participation in industry manpower programmes such as the MPA Global Internship Award, MaritimeONE Internship and Scholarship Programmes, and the Career Conversion Programme.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
